You’re not just imagining it—and here’s what you can do.
Picture this: You’re walking along Bayshore Boulevard, the breeze is just right, but every step reminds you—your feet just aren’t what they used to be.
If you’ve ever thought, “Why do my feet hurt more now than they used to?”—you’re not alone. Foot pain is one of the most common complaints among adults over 60. And the good news? You don’t have to live with it.
What’s Really Going On With Aging Feet?
Let’s break it down:
The Cushion Wears Thin
Those soft pads on the bottom of your feet? They shrink with time. Less cushion means more pressure—and more pain.
Circulation Slows Down
As we age, blood flow to the feet isn’t as strong. That means healing takes longer, and your feet can feel cold, tingly, or sore more often.
Foot Conditions Sneak In
Bunions, corns, plantar fasciitis, arthritis… they’re not just “old people problems”—they’re real, and they hurt. Especially when ignored.
Diabetes Changes Everything
If you’re managing diabetes, your feet need extra love. Nerve damage (neuropathy) can lead to numbness, burning, or even wounds that don’t heal properly.
✅ What You Can Actually Do About It
Let’s talk solutions:
See a Podiatrist
You see a dentist for your teeth. An eye doctor for your vision. Why not a foot doctor for your foundation? Routine checkups help prevent small problems from turning big.
Wear the Right Shoes
Ditch the old flip-flops. Look for shoes with good arch support, a wide toe box, and soft cushioning. Comfort over fashion? Always.
Keep Them Clean and Cared For
Simple habits like moisturizing, trimming your nails properly, and inspecting your feet every day can make a big difference.
Stay on Top of Health Conditions
Got diabetes, arthritis, or poor circulation? Stay consistent with your care—and let your feet be part of the conversation.
Don’t “Just Live With It”
Pain is your body’s way of saying something’s off. Listen to it. A quick visit can save you months (or years) of discomfort.
